he Gallery Eumundi is hosting its final exhibition in its current location: Ride the Wind by acclaimed artist Des Rolph.

The Gallery Eumundi needs to move to another location by the end of October as the owner of the building Jill Reilly is returning to live at Gridley St. Jill lived and painted on the site badged as Frances Reilly Gallery for a number of years until 2008. Prior to that another well known artist Hal Barton lived and worked in the building for many years.

Maroochydore State High School’s team of Dylan Kelly, Daniel Harper and Michael Nugent, grand final winners of the 2011 Market Chef competition last week with runners up St Andrews Peregian Springs team of Luca Maioli, Don Chambers and Jessica Smith scoring just one team point less than Maroochydore.

T

he competition was tough, very tough, the display of cooking talent and training was a market crowd pleaser and the fresh produce and ingredients from local growers at the Original Eumundi Markets all came together in the inaugural Market Chef competition. Seven local high schools competed and did much to assure the hospitality industry that there is plenty of talent coming through the school ranks as potential chefs.

Eumundi Markets chef Peter Wolfe anchored the competition with his demonstrations, his encouragement of the students and his conversations with market visitors.

“Every team exceeded my expectations. It’s quite a challenge to cook a meal in front of an audience especially when there’s no notice with the recipe and requirements. They always came up trumps working their way through mini disasters. It was excellent workplace training. Of course the toughest round was the final. The two teams were surprised when they realised there was no recipe to follow. Truly they did wonders under pressure with the fresh ingredients that awaited them,” Peter said.

Market manager Peter Homan said plans were underway for a competition in 2012.

Editor's Desk My Street – Low St interview with Daph Greer

Joyce Turnbull editor@eumundigreen.com.au

D

aph Greer said “Low St is a great street, friendly, quiet and peaceful.” Daph should know as she has lived at No 3 Low St for almost 60 years.

Daph has recently returned to her home after a period of recuperating from a fall and her old faithful dog Keesar is never far from her feet.

Daph says she and her husband Alf came to live in Low St when they were married in August 1952.

She says that good friends Doreen and Brian Cunnington who live next door but one moved into Low St a couple of months earlier. Daph says though the dirt road now has bitumen, and two rows of retail and industrial premises have replaced the saw mill, the street is not all that different to how it was in 1952. Daph says that the street is gazetted to join up with Pacey St but it never has.

Daph worked on the books at the sawmill three days a week for 24 years. The mill had a number of owners from 1948 with the Fish Brothers John and Roy purchasing the business in 1963.

Look at these cuties:

Jasper Curley reading the Green at seven weeks – perhaps the youngest reader ever? Grandmother Fran Curley is a regular volunteer collator for Eumundi Green and maintains the recipe book that houses all the Green recipes. But she was missing in action recently as she spent a little time in Bali with young Jasper.

Roy told Eumundi Green the long success of their business was due in no small part to Daph’s book-keeping.

In 1993 the business was sold with a prompt clearance sale of stock, fittings and buildings to make way for a planned development of new retail and industrial premises. High profile commercial establishments there today are Highly Strung and Hyperperformance Motorcycles.

T

here is a fair chance that if you live around Eumundi some of the power you use comes from the roof of Solar Power Specialists in Memorial Dr. The 72 190 Watt Trina Solar modules that complement the existing BP Solar Array makes an emphatic statement that solar power gives every home and business owner control of their energy destiny.

“Now that we generate more clean energy than we can use, and the Carbon Trading Bill is set for passage through federal parliament, I am especially pleased that the investment makes the company carbon positive and quarantines us

from down side effects of the legislation”, said owner Diane Howard.

“The recovery of the STC price means the new Solar Credit multiplier is close to delivering the same benefit as before 30 June,” added senior sales representative Brani Grabnar. “As well, the strong Australian Dollar makes the component cost the lowest it might ever be, meaning that the purchasing environment right now is the friendliest it has been in a long time.”

“Seeing is believing. It is not smoke and mirrors. In fact it is the right thing to do and six days a week we are there to show you how,” Diane said.

Where to from here for the hinterland

S

unshine Coast Council is keen to make sure the hinterland remains vibrant and diverse in terms of its economic activity into the future, and is calling for ideas, input and creative thinking to prepare a strategy which does just that!

Council is conducting an open, online community forum as well as holding workshops around the Coast. On-line visitors will be able to answer questions listed and link to a variety of

information sources, as well as read contributions by others and continue the conversation.

When all the feedback is in, Council will identify the strongest issues which will feed into a draft Rural Futures Strategy.

There are three free workshops: Tuesday 27 September at Maleny RSL from 7–9am, Wednesday 28 September from 7–9am at the Nambour Civic Centre, and Thursday 29 September from 7–9am at the Cooroy Hotel.

New runway project expenditure

S

unshine Coast Council has committed $2.4m in this current financial year and a further $2.4m in the 2012/13 financial year to complete an environmental impact statement for the new eastwest runway at Sunshine Coast Airport.

The new $250m runway, due for completion in 2020, is expected to provide a significant boost to the economy of the Sunshine Coast.

This includes a contribution of $1.6b and an additional 5000 jobs, as estimated by economists Price Waterhouse Coopers.

If you have a question or would like to express a view please contact editor@eumundigreen.com.au. We’d like to hear from you.

More on surviving the ongoing market downturn!

Having successfully run my own business for a number of years and relying mostly on word of mouth, delivering good service to ensure that every client became an advocate was our motto but we worked on small volume large margins and therefore this model was appropriate.

I believe there is no right answer, it depends on the business, the product and the market, you need to target the right market segment for your product and have specific objectives in mind to make the most of your advertising.

Make sure people know who you are and what you do, if your business is in a niche market make sure your marketing dollar is getting the most value — the only other word of advice is to measure and monitor.

Business and Community News Our Tracey Combes at national breast cancer summit

R

Question Did any community groups in Eumundi and district get funded under Council’s annual Community Partnership Funding and Sports Field Maintenance funding?

Response It's fantastic to see three wonderful Eumundi organisations were successful in their applications for funding. The Eumundi Chamber of Commerce is a strong community organisation that is making a difference in Eumundi and has a strong working partnership with council. It was granted $6000 for three years.

The Eumundi and District Pony Club is a terrific local asset that provides great recreational opportunities for youngsters on a picturesque 64 hectare site of natural wilderness parkland. They received $3300. The funding these organisations receive will assist with their operational costs and help them to grow and prosper into the future.

The Eumundi Park Recreation Showgrounds Association is a small group that punches above its weight for the local community and provides a great home base for the Eumundi Dragons Junior Rugby Union Club. The $9394 funding that the showgrounds recieve under the Sports Field Maintenance Program will cover 70% of the ground maintenance costs and also help raise the standards of upkeep at the grounds to a district competition level. This will provide a real boost for the facility and the ever growing number of youngsters who use play and train there during the junior rugby season.

Congratulations to the Eumundi groups who were successful this year and I hope to see more locals make the list in 2012.

aelene Boyle celebrated her recent 60th birthday and her 15 year breast cancer survival milestone during the national summit in Melbourne hosted by Breast Cancer Network Australia.

The Network represents Australians affected by breast cancer and links together more than 60,000 individuals and over 300 community support groups, including Noosa Districts Breast Cancer Support Group. Among the issues discussed at the Summit was the impact that breast cancer has on partners and families, the importance of connecting with the local community, and support for living well with the physical and emotional effects of breast cancer.

Local Tracey Combes said, “The Summit offered information and inspiration as well as some practical ideas and resources to take back to our community.

Local breast cancer groups are a great source of support for women

dealing with breast cancer, and are powered by local survivors who volunteer their own time. Coming together with women from around Australia and connecting with their experiences really helps reenergise local support groups.”

A blueprint for connected communities?

S

unshine Coast Council has unveiled its blueprint Social Infrastructure Strategy 2011 for the delivery of community facilities that encourage people to meet and connect with each other.

Council’s Social Strategy Portfolio Councillor Anna Grosskreutz said that Council recognises the importance and benefits that well planned social infrastructure has for the health, wellbeing and economic prosperity of our communities.

“Social infrastructure plays an important role in bringing people together, developing community spirit and developing the skills

and resilience essential to strong communities,” Cr Grosskreutz said.

“The blueprint is our roadmap for social infrastructure such as libraries, aquatic facilities, community meeting spaces and arts facilities. The blueprint even identifies needs associated with cemeteries and State Emergency Services.”

There are minor references to Doonan, Weyba Downs, Verrierdale, Eumundi, Eerwah Vale, North Arm and Bridges on Pages 70 and 71 of the blueprint, which is available on Council’s website as part of the Social Infrastructure Strategy 2011.

he smell of burnt toast and hushed voices gently stir me as the soft pitter-patter of little feet glide down the hallway, the jingle jangle of mis-balanced crockery and cutlery competing with the sloshing of over-milky tea hitting the floor in ever-increasing splats.

What the dickens is going on? Of course! It’s that time of the year again – Fathers Day, my one day of the year for an unapologetic sleep-in where my yawning frame is greeted by a veritable banquet spread out before me.

Toast the colour of coal loudly vies with the thickly spread condiments garishly spread across its cindered covering, and the tea is so weak that even the Brisbane Lions could beat it. And my newly presented and partially unwrapped socks, undies and novelty soap on a rope seem to be covered in all manner of mystery breakfast ingredients. But damn it! It’s breakfast in bed served up

with much love by my little cherubs and it’s the best darn brekky I’ve had in yonks. Thankfully it’s but one day a year …

Who would’ve thought that until I became a dad the mysteries of Fathers Day would’ve passed me by? Now I understand when I used to question my father as to why fathers get a special day and kids don’t, his reply was echoed the world across – “Because every day is kid’s day!” And I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t thrown in that little pearler on the first Sunday in September each year. Dads need a day that’s theirs – if only for one day of the year to get brekky in bed in the morning, the opportunity to languish and enjoy the newspaper in the day, and the chance to have absolute control of the TV remote in the evening. And as we all know, a bloke can never have too many socks, undies and novelty soaps on a rope … greetings to fathers everywhere.

Your Say Thank you Eumundi

to The Queensland Institute of Medical Research to help find a cure for cancer. Special thanks to Cherrie Orr and Trent Harvison for your help with our Trivia Night.

We feel very lucky to work in such a wonderful, supportive community.

Margie Carty and Deb Mergard Prep teachers Eumundi State School

On the weekend of the 20 and 21 of August we were privileged to participate in the Ride to Conquer Cancer charity cycling event. With 1340 other cyclists we made our way along the 237km course, spending the night in a tent city at Somerset Dam. The course was very challenging and involved wind, rain and an abundance of hills, but we made it to the end with a few cuts and scratches and some very sore muscles.

We both feel very proud to have been part of the ride and would like to sincerely thank our friends and family and all of the people and businesses of Eumundi who have given us encouragement and support.

Due to your generosity Team Eumundi raised close to $10,000, which contributed to a total of $4.7million that has gone directly

Happy anniversary!

I have just been thumbing through my copy of Issue 128 of Eumundi Green and noticed that the fifth anniversary of its birth is with us.

It is coincidental that 9 September is the fifth anniversary of my election to Parliament.

So while the dates don’t quite coincide, the value of both occasions is very important to me.

Congratulations to you and your team for the quite outstanding publication that you have delivered over these past five years to your rich community.

Local papers are the life-blood of small communities and the worth of Eumundi Green to Eumundi and district cannot be overestimated.

It is a tribute to you, your team and to your proprietors, the Eumundi Combined Community

Glen Elmes, MP Member for Noosa Part of us Congratulations to you all on the achievement of your fifth birthday!

Eumundi Green came into being around the time that our first daughter Ella was born. In fact, we attended the launch event held at the School of Arts five years ago, huge belly in tow, great community excitement and fervent hopes that Eumundi would be able to sustain such a seemingly ambitious project. Five years later; after a gigantic initial push, sleepless nights, a few teething troubles and, no doubt, a tantrum or two, your “baby” (like ours) is well on its way to becoming a fully fledged entity and member of our community. We can't quite remember life without it, it’s now part of us.

More on de-amalgamation I wish to thank and agree with Kent Hartshorn on his comments in the 1 September edition of the Eumundi Green. It is precisely what I have spoken with my friends in the previous Noosa council area about.

That is, the constitutional rights of any local councils Australia-wide are basically zero. Further more, any Noosa de-amalgamation including Eumundi would exclude areas on the western side of the highway, North Arm to Belli Park which would mean a possible change of postcode and so on.

I really do believe that our friends in the Noosa divisions should work on making their area have its own unique council requirement to suit local ideologies.

After all, this Council's push to unify local government laws from the south to the north of the Sunshine Coast is basically to make council public servants jobs a little easier and nothing to do with the aspirations of our many communities. We all need to be in contact with our local members of state parliament, mainly because they are in a position to have influence one way or the other constitutionally.

Schools News Cooroy French students AIM high

S

tudents and their teacher Oj Rugins with their awards for outstanding results at the Sunshine Coast Modern Languages Teachers’ Association of Queensland annual speech contest held at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Oj explains that their remarkable level of understanding and performance in French has been achieved through the use of AIM (the

Accelerative Integrated Method), developed in Canada by Wendy Maxwell. Students learn actions for each word or phrase, and this facilitates understanding and recall as the information is stored across both hemispheres of the brain. Also integral to the approach is the use of pareddown language, a lexicon of the most frequently used 700 French words, with an emphasis on verbs.

No doubt about it: Eumundi’s got talent

Winners of Eumundi State School’s Eumundi’s Got Talent were seven year old Karate Freestyle performer Solomon Falzon (first place), The Guitar Man Loche Jackway (second) and Shud Upa Ya Face vocalist Shanae Stecca (third). The competition was conducted over many weeks with the finals conducted as part of the Arts in Action day. Judge Bruce Hamilton said he was absolutely blown away by the talent of the ten finalist performers.

Solomon Falzon shows his talent as a representative of Karate Budokan.

The karate team will be part of the special All Well & Good program for body, heart and soul at the markets on Saturday 24 September. Solomon was recently in the Queensland state team in the Australian karate titles and won last week’s Eumundi’s Got Talent competition.

Meet the Market Chef judges Market manager Peter Homan, host of Jacaranda Ck Farmstay and B&B Kerrie Bryant-Adams, and bush and slow food guru and Market Chef host Peter Wolfe ready to judge the final round of the inaugural Market Chef competition at the Original Eumundi Markets.

very week the Eumundi markets has a feast of healthy events and every week we celebrate good health. Operating a free naturopathic clinic in the markets for the last eight years has given me the chance to network and befriend lots of really interesting and professional health people in the markets. I just love the way we all work together collaboratively and make a great effort to really help people.

I make herbal medicine products.

We love talking with people and spend the morning consulting in our free clinics, showcasing the range of products we make and giving out information about where to find other health services in the market. There are so many wonderful massage therapists with a variety of styles and techniques.

There are crystal essences, body healings and some really beautiful organic foods such as organic

fruits, vegies and herbs. We have olive oil makers with their healthy cold pressed olive oil products.

Fresh ground salt and pepper, spices, and lots of foods that are really great medicines all made on the farm. The natural skin care ranges have become so healthy as manufacturers meet the green clean market of chemical-free body products.

The markets are an opportunity for people to buy straight from the small producers and when we are able to make skin care and herbal supplies in small batches, the quality is very high and we are able to use the best local ingredients.

I just love this about our markets.

Come along every market day to say hello and let us help you celebrate good health. Better still, come along on Saturday 24 September for the All Well & Good day and follow the trail around and meet all of us!

Indee Theatre News John Burls

T

his year’s children’s classic season at The Indee is in fact six classics with a tale woven around them – Hans Christian Andersen.

Had he known that his children’s stories would still be around and loved more than two hundred years after his death, Hans may not have been as dour as he’s depicted.

This famous Dane was far from a light-hearted soul and most of his work tends to have a dark side, which is possibly why his fairy tales didn’t do at all well when they were first published.

However, his incredible volume of work has found great favour in ballets, stage plays, television and, of course, films. For the Indee adaptation, onstage at the end of this month, Hans (played

by Luke Lanham) has been given a much lighter, softer, outlook than biographers have given him.

Others in the cast are Debbie Pitura, Inger Vinogradov and the Indee Young Players.

Six of Hans’ most famous fairy stories are included, The Ugly Duckling, Thumbelina, The Princess and the Pea, The Kings New Clothes, The Little Match Girl and The Little Mermaid. Each

story is treated differently, for instance Thumbelina is presented as a shadow puppet play, while The Little Mermaid has an underwater wonderland as the setting.

Directed by Carol Burls (The Wind in the Willows, The Reluctant Dragon, Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan, Hansel & Gretel), it’s a colourful, singing, dancing, production, which should delight the whole family.

There’ll be four school holiday performances only: 5pm Friday 30 September, 4pm Saturday 1 October and 11am & 3pm Sunday 2 October.

All tickets (big people and little people) $12 and free popcorn for the under-10s. 5472 8200.

Celebrate Food A little bit of Rick Stein

A

fish and shellfish cooking class at Rick Stein’s Padstow Seafood School was a holiday highlight for your editor’s husband John Turnbull recently.

He attended with his son-inlaw James while daughter and her mother visited the restaurant of one of Rick’s disciples, Paul Ainsworth at Number 6.

Paul has also become a bit of

a household name following his win on TV for his desserts on the Great British Menu.

Rick Stein was nowhere in sight at the cookery class but was sighted during the Cornwall holiday at a wake held at one of his picturesque hotels.

Here’s a sample of the dishes cooked on the day, adapted a little for southern ocean cooks.

Stuffing 50g currants 4 tblsp extra virgin olive oil plus a little extra for drizzling 1 medium onion, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped Pinch of crushed dried chillies 75g fresh white breadcrumbs 2 tblsp chopped flat-leaf parsley 15g anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained and chopped 2 tblsp small capers, chopped Finely grated zest half small orange 1 tblsp orange juice 25g finely grated parmesan cheese 50g pine nuts lightly toasted Method To prepare the sardines, rub off any scales, rinse fish under cold running water, cut off heads, slit open along the belly down to the tail, pull out the guts, wash the cavities clean, and place each opened fish belly-side down on a chopping board.

14

Eumundi Green

Ingredients 1kg raw or cooked whole crabs, blue swimmer or mud are good 4 Kampot green peppercorn vines or 1 ½ tblsp green peppercorns in brine, drained and rinsed 2 tsp soy sauce 2 tsp palm sugar, maybe a little less 2 tblsp vegetable oil 20g garlic, finely chopped 1½ tsp fish sauce 6 shallots, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal Method For both cooked and uncooked crabs, break off the tail flaps and discard. Break off the claws, then take a large bladed knife and cut them in half at the joint and crack the shells of each piece with a hammer or the back of the knife.

Chop the body section of each crab in half, then gently tug on the legs to pull the body pieces away from the back shell. Use a knife as an added lever if you need to but the body pieces should come

Stuffed sardines Ingredients 14 large or 20 small sardines (at class we substituted tiny mackerel) 1 orange, halved lengthways, then thinly sliced 20 fresh bay leaves (approx.)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Stir-fried crab with green Kampot pepper

Press firmly along the backbone until the fish lies completely flat on the board, turn it over and pull away the backbone, snipping it off close to the tail. You can carefully remove any bones left behind with fish tweezers.

Season lightly with salt and preheat oven to 200C. For the stuffing cover the currents in hot water and set aside for 10 minutes to plump up.

Heat the oil in a frying pain, add onion, garlic and crushed dried chillies and cook gently for 6-7 minutes until the onion is soft but not browned.

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, parsley, anchovies, capers, orange zest, orange juice, cheese and pine nuts. Drain the currants well and stir in, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Spoon roughly equal quantities of the stuffing along the head end of each sardine and roll them up towards the tail.

Pack sardines tightly into an oiled shallow 20cm x 30cm baking dish, arranging them with their tails pointing upwards, and place a bay leaf and a half slice of orange between each one.

Season the fish lightly, drizzle over a little more oil and bake for 20 minutes. Great in an assortment of antipasti.

away quite easily with the legs still attached.

Turn each piece over to pick off the soft gills, then cut in half once more so you have two legs attached to each piece. Throw away the back shells or save for stock.

Put the loose green peppercorns, if using, into a mortar or coffee mug and lightly bruise with a pestle or the end of a rolling pin. Fresh peppercorns on the vine won’t need bruising.

Mix the soy sauce with the sugar and set aside.

Heat a large wok over high heat, add the oil and the crab pieces and stir-fry for three minutes. Add the garlic and green peppercorns and cook for a few seconds, then lower the heat to medium, add the fish sauce and 2-3 tblsp water, cover and cook for five minutes if the crab was raw, 2–3 minutes if it was cooked.

Stir in the soy sauce and sugar mixture and shallots and turn over once or twice.

Spoon onto plates and serve.

National Stroke Week

Lee Smith, Make A Difference

he health of the brain determines much of our experience of life, influencing our moods, our intelligence and our overall quality of life. Maintaining brain health throughout life should therefore be a top priority for all of us.

Tragically, a large number of us will experience loss of mental function, either personally or through a close relative or partner.

The incidence of dementia in the elderly is increasing rapidly.

Maintaining a healthy mind and active brain throughout our entire life is something we all want. And fortunately, it is something we can all address.

Challenge your brain – your brain is just like your body, the more you exercise it the more powerful it becomes. Try choosing challenging leisure activities (e.g. crosswords, puzzles or learning a new language).

Bumper crowd for Real Food Fest at Maleny

Eumundi chefs Max Porter (left) and Peter Wolfe were part of the crowd of many hundreds of people who attended the first Maleny Real Food Fest in ideal spring conditions.

Eat well – to provide key nutrients for healthy brain function, eat a balanced diet that includes protein-rich foods, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, nuts and seeds, and good oils.

Exercise – sustained participation in physical exercise well into old age has been shown to enhance learning and memory, reduce age and disease-related mental decline, and protect against age-related degeneration of crucial areas of the brain associated with higher cognitive function.

Don’t stress – relax, meditate and strive towards a healthy balance between work and leisure. Don’t keep pushing yourself without giving your body and brain a break. Put your own health and wellbeing first.

Sleep – important for repair of both body and mind, so make sure you get enough sleep each night.

In the Spotlight Dave Daly excites the canine world Caroline Arnett

T

he ideas man behind the remarkable Woofstock festival in Australia is Dave Daly, a selfproclaimed dog and cat lover residing in Doonan. He was so impressed by the impact of the quirky and original Woofstock festival in Toronto, where 300,000 dog lovers and their canine friends come together for this wildly popular “doggie love-in”, he just had to bring the idea home.

The bustling site of the Original Eumundi Markets played host to the most recent Woofstock festival last Sunday.

Dave’s life began in 1963 in Gympie. After school he embarked on a radio career at a local station, with work in Townsville, Brisbane and Ipswich to follow. He enjoyed many good years at Hot FM as a breakfast announcer and admits with a laugh that the 4am starts got him in the end. “I then spent a year working with the Member for Noosa Glen Elmes, when he was head of ‘The Heat’ radio station”.

These days Dave can be seen out and about compering events, entertaining as DJ Dave and

providing voice-overs for radio and TV. Dave considers that one of the best things about life as an announcer was the information he gathered through research and meeting different people. Over the years he became fascinated with what tickled people’s funny bones … the intriguing ways they created fun in unique and surprising ways.

Having seen the impact of Woofstock on such a large city as Toronto, he wondered whether Australians would be interested in a

Eumundi & District Community Assn Inc

fun day out with their talented fourlegged friends. Dave completed his homework, obtained the relevant approvals and created a plan for Woofstock, Australian style.

He immediately thought of the Eumundi Markets site as the inaugural venue for the festival. “Where else had the right community vibe, the set up and the right people?” Running his idea past market manager Peter Homan, Peter’s comment was, “Dave knocked me over with his ideas about Woofstock. I’ve

known Dave’s antics from his radio days but this idea blew me away. I agreed with him that Eumundi and Woofstock might be a match made in dog heaven! Woofstock was a hoot in 2010 and I can see that it could grow bigger and better each year, both in Eumundi and across Australia.”

Dave said he really only expected 400 people last year so was very happy with the thousands who attended over the whole day. “It was brilliant fun,” Dave says. This year a great crowd came along again to have a fun day out with their dogs. Dave said he was very happy with turnout.

“Considering the current climate it’s great to see so many people here again, and the stall holders say they’re doing well,” he said on the day.

The Ipswich City Council is the next in line to host Woofstock, on Sunday 16 October at Limestone Park, with the event moving on to Brisbane, Melbourne and Townsville in 2012, and a winter festival in Mooloolaba. Definitely a national series! Groovy!

Operating Wednesday Markets for Our Community

Rainforest Glow Gunyuz (Eunice) Aus turned her “retirement hobby” into a popular business on the terraces Wednesday markets, where she has been a trader for several years.

An immigrant from Turkey in 1968, Eunice used her scientific experience in a career at the Dept of Primary Industries as a microbiology researcher, so perhaps it was a natural progression that led her into her interest in natural skincare.

A holder of a Diploma in Remedial Aromatherapy from the Australian Institute of Science, since 2005 Eunice has been developing her skincare range using only natural Australian ingredients, to include body and facial scrubs, cleansers, pain relief balm, body oils and soaps.

A lifelong learner, Eunice regularly updates her knowledge, each year attending practical workshops such as a course in cosmetic chemistry, dermatology workshops that include clinical aromatherapy and massage, which she says is her next challenge.

Eunice always enjoys the markets, especially the interaction with people and being able to help them with skincare.

Did you know?

Did you Know this about eftpos?

Eftpos is the most widely used debit card system in Australia, accounting for 83% of debit card transactions. More than 5 million eftpos transactions are made each day, comprising $285 million in purchases and $40 million in cash out. In 2010, Australian consumers performed over 1.9 billion eftpos transactions worth $119 billion at 389,000 merchants using over 700,000 eftpos terminals.

The name and logo for eftpos in Australia were originally owned by the National Australia Bank and were trade marks from 1986 until 1991.

As at December 2010, there were more than 707,000 eftpos terminals in Australia and more than 28,000 ATMs.

Through rain and snow, sleet and ice, heat, hail, wind, mud and slop, the mail must get through. Somewhere in the memory bank lurks a mantra akin to this for the US Post from the bygone era of the pony express.

It is just as applicable for each of our volunteer car parking attendants who brave all that the elements can throw at them, and then some, every Saturday morning and every Wednesday morning.

And they come up smiling as the front line in welcoming guests to our town.

They provide an invaluable service which we under value at our peril.

While it is true that every "vollie" represents a group on whose behalf they labour and which is rewarded for their effort, the ECCO Board believes that the "vollies" should also be thanked personally. So it is fitting that ECCO hosts a small function to say thank you every now and again.

The Fig Tree was the venue on Friday 19 August when 39 of our wonderful "vollies" gathered for a bite and a sip in convivial company with delightful entertainment provided by Melissa Isles to be thanked for welcoming visitors to our town so well.

ECCO uses such occasions to fulfill its policy of supporting the local micro economy wherever possible so not only do we say thank you to the "vollies" we also provide a benefit to one of our Memorial Dr businesses, The Fig Tree on this occasion, who in turn provided our guests with a splendid evening.

And we must not forget to thank our Co-ordinator, John Turnbull, and his backup team of Annie Wilson and John McCallum. John T faces the elements EVERY Wednesday and EVERY Saturday.

Green Tip Not just a cup of tea Janet Millington

T

he Sunshine Coast used to have its own tea plantation somewhere behind the Big Cow. Tea is part of the Camillia family (camellia sinensis) and likes acid soils in the tropics and sub-tropics. The tiny bacteria that rise from the leaves during transpiration, or when the leaves are picked, is said to be the most potent of all rainmaking agents, leading to large rainfalls, for example, over the tea plantations of Kenya.

The marvellous cuppa can give you a lift as well as your plants and do some jobs around the house and garden to boot.

Save tea dregs as they are good to water and mulch ferns. Maidenhair responds particularly well. Be careful not to make a thick blanket of them that will smother the Thursday 15 September 2011

roots; dig them in gently to let air into the soil. Stag horns and elkhorns like tea leaves too. Other plants that like tea are roses, azaleas, violets and hydrangeas, and in the veggie patch try them on parsley and the passionfruits. Put tea leaves into your compost bin to add diversity to the nutrients in the humus you make there.

Save up an ice-cream container full of old tea leaves then mix that with half a container of soil and rotted manures to make a good potting mix. Some ladies have soaked dates in the cold tea overnight before making a dateloaf. The cold tea will improve the flavour and the colour of the loaf. Strained tea makes a good window and mirror cleaner that will leave them sparkling.

Thanks to Molly Dye’s Survival manual.

Some prefer shade or part shade, others are happy to grow in full sun. During spring new leaves form and along with their beautiful flowers are a sight to behold.

Azaleas are easy to grow and work well in the garden planted together for creating a hedge. The most important thing to know about azaleas is that they like a well drained, lime free medium to grow in with adequate watering throughout dry periods. It is a good idea to mulch them for moisture retention during the warmer months...

Prune hard after spring flowering, feed and water well to encourage new growth.

Most azaleas flower twice a year, in spring and again in autumn making azaleas one of the most reliable flowering shrubs to have in your garden.

We have a wide range of flowering azaleas at our garden centre and remember there is 15% off our plants for the month of September.

Y

ear 7 students from North Arm State School have become Westpac Junior Landcare Sustainability Leaders, thanks to their work leading a sustainability project in their own school.

North Arm State School was one of 61 successful recipients of a Westpac Junior Landcare Student Sustainability Grant as part of a program that was launched last year by Catriona Rowntree.

The program was aimed at encouraging students to plan and implement environmental sustainability initiatives in their

schools or local communities.

The projects involved primary school students teaming up with a local Landcare group and local high school students, who provided mentoring through the implementation stages.

This enabled the students to make use of the experience and knowledge that exists in their community and gain a greater understanding of the skills required when tackling local environmental issues.

North Arm State School put the funding towards improving the biodiversity of their school grounds.

Eumundi Green

eptember is National Biodiversity Month and is held each year to promote the importance of protecting, conserving and improving biodiversity both here in Australia and around the world. Biodiversity has been described as the “web of life”, “the variety of living things”or “the different plants, animals and micro-organisms, their genes and ecosystems of which they are a part”. Biodiversity encompasses every living thing that exists on our planet and the environment in which it lives.

Biodiversity is important as we are all dependent on biodiversity for our sustenance, health, wellbeing and enjoyment of life. We derive all of our food and many medicines and industrial products from the wild and domesticated components of biological diversity.

Biodiversity is the basis for much of our recreation and tourism, and includes the ecosystems that provide us with many services such as clean water.

You can help improve biodiversity by some or all of these ideas:  Create a natural habitat in your backyard. Look at plants that are native to your region and help create a backyard sanctuary for local birds and wildlife.  Put only water down drains.

Things like oils and chemicals may start at the kitchen sink but end up in our waterways and seas and can affect animals and plants living in streams and rivers.  Be an informed seafood eater.

Don't eat threatened fish species.  Reduce, reuse and recycle. Look at ways to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfill.

Nature Notes and Outdoors Small Bolwarra – another native Guava Goat games Lyndall Friend, Belli Park Kon Hepers

W

e have previously written about our Bolwarra Eupomatia laurina, a spreading bush with highly scented, beautiful but complex white flowers every November. The gumnut-like fruits, full of tiny seeds, are about 15 to 20mm in diameter and have a somewhat guava-like taste.

About 4 years ago we noticed a single stemmed, slender plant, only about 300 mm tall, growing in the bush track a metre or so from the Bolwarra. Right at its apex it had a fruit just like the Bolwarra, but nearly twice as large. The leaves also were similar to the Bolwarra. Obviously an offspring of the one right alongside, so we photographed and forgot it. During our track clearing, this plant must have been slashed several times and certainly was not noticed any more.

Then, in early August this year, there it was again, but this time instead of a fruit there was a beautiful coloured flower, also sweetly scented.

More photographs and then to the textbooks which showed that this was a separate species in the genus Eupomatia, known as Small Bolwarra, Eupomatia bennettii. Like our plant they are mostly single-stemmed and do not grow much taller than 1.5 metres. The distribution of E. bennettii is much more restricted than that of the larger species, ranging only from NSW North Coast up into North Queensland.

Even within their range they are not common.

Also like E. laurina, the flowers need to be pollinated by a small weevil. But the weevils need to move fast. The flowers only last two days or so and ours was gone overnight.

E

veryone has heard of the duck/ goose saga at the Friends’ menagerie. Well now we have goats.

Never having done the animal “thing” before, we now added a miniature doe in kid. With a smaller animal, we hoped we would have a greater chance of success as first timers and be on the way to contributing to our self sufficiency quest with our own milk to hand for the purpose of drinking, yoghurt, cheese, even ice cream. Yes we were aiming high. Ignorance is bliss.

To start with I had barely arrived back home from a northern hemisphere holiday when Roxie delivered twins, cleverly all by herself, thank goodness. Then began the mad scurry to create a nursery within the goat enclosure.

We invented as we went. We debated on how long to leave the kids with mum as we would need a milking stall and I would need to

wean the babies within a week to ten days. Needless to say it was closer to the ten being a nervous novice.

It had begun, the three times a day baby bottles, the morning and night milking. As Roxie is a miniature goat it is not a lot of milk, thank goodness, as you then have to do something with it!

I seem to be spending a lot of time sterilising and preparing utensils and formula complemented by researching the makings of goat produce. The milk is delicious, not at all like the commercial variety.

After three weeks we are down to a more manageable two baby bottle feeds per day. I have got a handle on the milking and enjoy the process (except the cold mornings).

We have ice cream in the freezer, yoghurt being produced and the feta is in the planning stage.

Step by step we are learning and delighting in each success. We may even do it all again next year!

Lessons for Life Letters home

S

unshine Coast High school students are being challenged, for a short time, to put away their instant text messaging, calling up visual images on Facebook, or listening to their IPods – and write a letter with pen and paper.

Not just any letter, but as part of “Letters Home”, a Sunshine Coast high school student writing competition.

Nambour and District Historical Museum is asking students to put themselves in the place of overseas service personnel featured in the museum’s war room and write a letter home – just as it was done in World Wars I and II. “Letters Home is an excellent way to gain more interest leading up to the Anzac Day centenary in 2015, especially with young people,” president Clive Plater said, “and also it will give them a chance to be a part of this year’s Remembrance Day celebrations, ” he said.

“The museum is holding a ceremony on 12 November and students will be asked to take part, with winners reading their letters.”

Mr Plater said through conducting Letters Home, members hope to encourage high school students to take time to remember the contributions of soldiers who had a personal link to Nambour and who served in overseas theatres of war.

“Their stories are poignantly recorded in the museum, with photographs, personal details, war histories, and some of the actual letters they wrote home,” he said. “These displays form part of the museum’s War Room, which exhibits many special mementoes of the contribution locals made during war time.”

Cash prizes of $100, $50 and $25 for first, second and third, plus certificates, will be awarded in five sections: senior students Years 12 and 11, and junior students Years 10, 9 and 8.

Entries close 11 October 2011.

Information kits can be obtained by calling at the museum, 18 Mitchell St, Nambour, Wednesday and Saturday from 1–4pm, writing to NDHM, PO Box 5080, SCM, Qld, 4560 or emailing jeanette. morrison@bigpond.com.

T

his week we’re going over a few solutions to common problems on PCs that get brought into the workshop here. It might save you some time and money if you can resolve that annoying problem yourself! Follow these quick steps and see if it helps.

Slow web browsing – Use the free CCleaner software to clear out temporary files. Disable unnecessary Internet Explorer plugins, or try another free browser like Firefox or Chrome. Turn your ADSL modem off then on.

PC turns on but nothing at all comes on screen – Unplug PC from power, take side panel off, unclip memory sticks (RAM) from motherboard by pressing down on end clips, clean dust from contacts on the sticks with a dry cloth, put back in one at a time (press ends into clips until they snap in) seeing if the PC turns

on ok after each stick goes in. If it’s still not working, do the same with the dedicated video card (if present). This is the card that your computer screen plugs into in the back of your PC. Ignore if the cable doesn’t plug into a separate card that can be removed from the motherboard.

Overheating PC – Turn PC off; take side panel off; then turn PC back on. Check that fans are spinning (case fan, CPU fan, fan inside power supply – just feel for airflow, do not dismantle power supply!). If there’s a lot of dust in the computer, remove with air compressor or can of compressed air. Hold fans still while blowing them so they don’t spin too fast.

Ensure any moisture on PC parts from the compressor dries before turning on PC. If you have a problem or a question phone or drop an email.

Picket fence facelift A recent call to Council saw a team of two quickly dispatched to spruce up the picket fence surrounding one of our heritage listed trees in Eumundi.

Each of the 20 trees when they were planted from 1914 to 1919 to commemorate the 20 Eumundi men who did not return from Word War 1 had their own white picket fence around them for protection while they grew.

The flame tree on the corner of Gridley St and Memorial Dr dedicated to W J E Gridley is the only tree to still have its fence. The fence was damaged and looking a bit green and dirty after all the recent rain.

Visit Discover Eumundi to learn more about the heritage trees and see a photo from 1919 showing some of our massive fig trees on the eastern side of Memorial Dr when they were less than a metre high!

t seems many of our readers have been travelling recently and taking a Eumundi Green with them. This is very welcome support for Eumundi Green's vision: taking the essence of Eumundi to the world. The first photo below is of Janie Ferguson's sister Jo in the lovely garden owned by their father in the UK with its postcard view of the

fields to the River Severn. Janie was missing from her volunteer collating work for Eumundi Green in July and August while she and her husband Allan travelled to many European centres.

In the bottom photo Janie is enjoying the gardens of Villa Taranto, on Lake Maggiore, Italy.

Locals Home and Abroad A Greek Odyssey Lyndall Friend Regular writer for Eumundi Green Lyndall Friend was lucky enough to participate in a recent painting tour of the Greek Islands organised by Diana Psarommatis who is an Australian married to a Greek man living in Kalymnos, and for the last 11 years has been organising art tours of Italy and Greece.

O

n this particular trip, the tutor, well known Sunshine Coast Pastellist Carolyn Sheather, supported and advised 15 aspiring artists, including eight from the Sunshine Coast. During the 20 day trip we visited various islands with painting excursions nearly every day to destinations chosen by Diana for their visual appeal.

The first island of Astypalea provided many opportunities,

from the turquoise water of the beach with boats gently rocking at anchor to the winding alleys of the Chora complete with castle ruins and windmills. Apart from a visual feast, we also had an introduction to Greek cuisine – what a taste sensation! There were freshly stuffed baked aubergines, small crumbed sardines and fried feta in honey and sesame seeds. I am definitely going to try that one.

After a week we were ferried to our next base on Kalymnos.

Apparently this was where the boats were built that left to fight the Trojan War. It is said that when the sea is very calm the remains of this city can be seen after it sank from an earthquake a few hundred years after its peak. We travelled to deep water fiords, paradise gardens, and small fishing villages, even setting up easels on the beach. It was with relief that after four hours of concentration during a Greek heatwave we often finished up with a dip in the cooling waters.

Another memorable taste sensation was calamari stuffed with goat’s cheese and herbs.

Amorgos was our next stop where The Big Blue was filmed.

Spectacular scenery, white washed alleys, villages without streets but a continuing series of steps often being passed by carrier donkeys, all provided many an inspiration. The white buildings are required to be repainted each April, and the blue trimmings result in a show of Greek nationalism.

Thyme honey with yoghurt is a

must to try for breakfast. Can you see a pattern emerging? The hills are covered with herbs. Flowering thyme, oregano and sage are small clumps of colour in every vista.

We caught an early ferry to our last stop on Mykonos and watched the sun rise. A different experience again. More people,

lots of Aussie tourists and windy conditions made painting a challenge, but we persevered.

We returned with new friendships and fond memories of Greek hospitality, fabulous food and an amazing experience.

Dreaming of the next opportunity to be inspired through all senses and create art with feeling.
